More quotes by Guy Kawasaki
Enchantment is the purest form of sales. Enchantment is all about changing people's hearts, minds and actions because you provide them a vision or a way to do things better. The difference between enchantment and simple sales is that with enchantment you have the other person's best interests at heart, too.

If you truly don't have competition, then zoom out until you can define some. Competition can be as simple as the reliance on the status quo, Microsoft (since at some point Microsoft will compete with everyone for everything), or researchers in universities. Pick something, because saying you have no competition at all is a nonstarter.
Guy Kawasaki
The hard part is implementing the decision, not making it.
Guy Kawasaki
I want to know which idea you're going to kill yourself trying to make successful, not which ideas have crossed your idle mind.

For me, while writing I am an engineer, so if I decide to change the format, I want to add a section, to move a section, reorganize the section, anything I want to do, I just boot words, and I do what I want to do. So, I feel completely empowered when I'm a writer.

Frequently, crashes are followed with a message like 'ID 02'. 'ID' is an abbreviation for idiosyncrasy and the number that follows indicates how many more months of testing the product should have had.
Guy Kawasaki
The mark of a good conversationalist is not that you can talk a lot. The mark is that you can get others to talk a lot. Thus, good schmoozer's are good listeners, not good talkers.
Guy Kawasaki
I'm a lousy predictor of the future.
Guy Kawasaki
I don't need the rush to be happy. I'd be perfectly happy without the attention and action.
Guy Kawasaki
Look back to the old days: people bought an MS DOS machine and struggled with it for weeks to bring it up to speed. Then Apple created Macintosh, struggled a bit with it, but eventually succeeded. Then it went into other businesses. If your company truly wants to change the world, it would make these problems go away for customers.

Simple and to the point is always the best way to get your point across.

An editor who is a mentor, advisor, and psychiatrist. Don't kid yourself-a good editor will make your book better.

A 50-year-old company can innovate as well as two guys/gals in a garage.
Guy Kawasaki
Ambitious failure, magnificent failure, is a very good thing.
Guy Kawasaki
Do not write to impress others. Authors who write to impress people have difficulty remaining true to themselves. A better path is to write what pleases you and pray that there are others like you. Your first and most important reader is you. If you write a book that pleases you, at least you know one person will like it.

Social media allows me to pick my times for social interaction.

How fast you are moving is more important than where you are.
